## What is Lunchbox Recipes?

Are you stuck making the same sandwiches for lunchboxes on repeat? Want to mix things up with easy, nutritious lunches that your child will actually eat and that don’t take hours to prep?

Then this app is for you.

This app is packed with 200+ family-friendly lunchbox recipes (and growing) to help you create exciting, balanced lunches without the stress. Whether you’re packing a school lunchbox, heading out for a picnic, or planning meals for a busy day, you’ll always have fresh ideas right at your fingertips.

As my daughter got older and started preparing for school and as our family days out became more frequent I realised how important it was to have portable, fuss-free lunches that work for the whole family. Every recipe in this app is family-friendly and suitable from six months, so you can prepare once and feed everyone.

Whether you’re looking for quick weekday lunches, picnic inspiration or lunchbox ideas that go beyond sandwiches, this app has you covered.

### 4/5 — Freezer option.

*2026-06-28*

I love this app and love how it tells you stuff is freezable BUT you know state for how long for each item and the best way to do so

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-03-26, version 1.0.8*

Really great lunchbox ideas and not going to cost the Earth! Thanks so much

### 5/5 — Great!

*2024-09-01*

I have this app and the fussy toddler app and both are great for quick easy recipes ideas. I make my son snacks to take to school and i feel much happier knowing its a delicious low sugar home cooked snack!

### 5/5 — Really Handy!

*2021-06-27*

I’ve had the lunchbox app for about a month now and I have to say for a mother with two small kids and full time job, it’s just so handy! It takes the stress out of thinking about what to do for their lunch boxes. There are some great recipes, but nothing super complex, just ideas which my brain doesn’t have the time to think about! I particularly like that you can add ingredients to the shopping list but when you go into the shopping list it reminds you which recipe the ingredient is for. Highly recommend for any parent who, like me, just needs something to give you lunchbox ideas without stress! Worth every penny to me ☺️

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2021-06-27*

Absolutely brilliant. I was at a loss for lunchbox ideas with a child who doesn’t like sandwiches but there are so many ideas on here (that are healthy too). Not only do I use this for my toddler but my partner takes them to work for his packed lunch too.
